Subject: Took advantage of 20% off Thule EMS had a labor day sale for 20% off all Thule gear. I had been thinking of roof racking my car and since the other half picked herself up a new Trek Madone 4.5 WSD (as her first bike!!!), she found that the 47cm frame was too small for the rack she had. I hated the trunk rack I had for my car since my bike with the Zipp's on it tended to catch a bit too much wind for my comfort zone. So since she needed a race (and my old one fit her new bike), and I was thinking of a roof rack...I took the plunge! All in all I like it and the aero design of the bars aren't overly loud, even with the sunroof open. It's a bit louder than before, but not unbearable. It definitely holds the bikes MUCH more securely though. Just have to remember no drive throughs anywhere!
All in all, not a bad purchase, and much better for traveling. And I retain easy use of my trunk! Shane |
